Info
WMSETxx.obj (where xx may refer to gr,us,it,fr,sp) is a multi-data world map file containing many core functions and 3D objects. This file contains almost everything: sounds, scripts, dialogs, texts, textures, models- all contained in one file. Main differences between en/it/gr/sp/fr are localized dialogs, so next sections have different offsets. Offsets before this are all the same. Wmset.obj is probably never used in-game and is leftover. Dialogs in lang-en/wmset.obj are in english, but the file is different from wmsetus.obj.
General structure
WMSETxx.obj is made from 48 sections. File starts with header, that has 48*4 bytes. Every offset is 4 bytes long.
Offset | Length | Description |
---|---|---|
0 | 4 bytes | Section 1 |
SectNmbr * 4 | 4 bytes | Section SectNmbr |
The last section is offset 188.
Offset | Length | Description |
---|---|---|
0 | 4 bytes | Section size |
4 | 4 bytes | Unknown2, stored in code |
The only function that works with it takes input of section1, section2, saves the EOF to global variable and calculates LEA for Unknown2 (above) and stores section size. After that it all gets POP...
Offset | Length | Description |
---|---|---|
0 | UNKNOWN | UNKNOWN |
Used in Section1 code only for offset storing. Has no independent function. Nothing...
Section 2-13: UNKNOWN

Section 14: Side quests texts/tialogs
This section provides dialogs on world map used in side quests.
This section starts with header pointing to relative offsets to dialog/text portions.

Section 29: World map "water block"
Section 29 is a duplicate segment from "full" water block (not segment!) used in world map (wmx.obj).
Usage
Whenever landing or entering ragnarok, the engine does not load segments from wmx.obj until the transition is done. Whenever transforming viewport at certain speed, the engine can't keep up with loading the new segments/blocks. The areas that are not loaded but should be rendered in the same time are filled with this block. This can be seen when the camera view is set so that it rotates during ragnarok entering/exiting transition or placing character to different area.

Section 38: World map textures archive
This section starts with header pointing to relative offsets to .TIM textures. When engine reads offset as 0 (00 00 00 00) then ends reading offsets (so 0 is end of offset list). This is one of the larger sections in file. THIS section is responsible for 1/2 world map textures (Those are really used in-game). There is 36 textures inside as of original release. Also, sea, beach and special effects texture is present.

Section 39: Textures - roads, train track, bridge
This section starts with header pointing to relative offsets to .TIM textures. When engine reads offset as 0 (00 00 00 00) then ends reading offsets (so 0 is end of offset list). THIS section is responsible for train track textures, road textures, bridge train track texture (the one that gets through FH).

Section 40: One world map texture/NULL
This section starts with header pointing to relative offsets to only one .TIM texture. This is the first texture that is in texl.obj or wmsetxx.obj/Section 38.

Section 42: Vehicle and object textures
This section starts with header pointing to relative offsets to .TIM textures. When engine reads offset as 0 (00 00 00 00) then ends reading offsets (so 0 is end of offset list). THIS section is responsible for vehicles, world map objects textures (Balamb mobile, Galbadia mobile, Balamb halo ring, cactuar statue, lunatic pandora...)
